Proposed Removal of the Washington Capital.

--We find the following proceedings of the Yankee Congress last week:

‘ Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, (Union,) asked leave to introduce a resolution instructing the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to examine and report a bill setting apart the old Hall of Representatives for a gallery of statuary.

Mr. Washburn, of Maine, (Union,) objected saying that he intended to introduce a bill at the earliest moment for removing the seat of Government from this barren and isolated country. --[Laughter]

The House was called. No quorum — only eighty-six members being present — the House adjourned.
